Meatloaf Twist - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ground round (may substitute with hamburger, ground chuck, ground sirloin)
barbecue sauce (a bottle)
1 large onion
1 large green pepper
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg (may use 2 egg whites instead of whole egg)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet French onion soup mix

Preparation

Start out with a large mixing bowl.
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
Chop 1/2 onion and place in mixing bowl.
Chop 1/2 green pepper and place in mixing bowl.
Add ground round, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, French Onion Soup mix, egg into the mixing bowl.
Mix well.
Add 1/2 bottle of barbecue sauce to the mixture and mix well.
Form the mixture into a square or loaf. (I usually form it to the pan I am using).
Slice the remaining onion and green peppers and arrange on top of loaf.
Pour 1/4 of the remaining barbecue sauce on the top of the loaf. (I usually make a letter \"M\" with the sauce--it makes it look pretty).
Place in oven.
Take it out of oven in 1/2 hour and pour the remainder of the barbecue sauce on top.
Let cook for another 1/2 hour.
Check for doneness.
I like mine well done.
Adjust cooking time to your liking.
Serve immediately.
Great with mashed potatoes and green beans.
